Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 565: The tragedy caused by the axial compressor

Dongshan Mining, such a strange name!

Zhou Xiangyang looked around, and found that everyone's eyes showed a ray of doubt and confusion. Obviously, everyone had never heard of the name of Dongshan Mining.

Dongshan Mining? Where is the company from? I've never heard of it!

I've never heard of it, Lao Zhou, how about you, do you know about Dongshan Mining?

Zhou Xiangyang shook his head: I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of this company.

In fact, Zhou Xiangyang had heard of Dongshan Mining before. When Huang Aihua introduced Li Weidong at the last bidding briefing, he had mentioned the name Dongshan Mining to Zhou Xiangyang, but Zhou Xiangyang didn't take it to heart at all.

In Zhou Xiangyang's eyes, why should a mere individual coal boss keep it in mind. So when his subordinates mentioned the name of Dongshan Mining, Zhou Xiangyang had no impression.

Those present are all large domestic coal companies, including top coal giants like Yankuang, national companies like the National Coal Import and Export Corporation, and Jizhong Coal Industry Group, which dominates a province and local princes, even if they are weaker. They are also well-known coal enterprises in their respective provinces.

However, the winning bid was a company that everyone had never heard of, which was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

Just as everyone was inquiring about Dongshan Mine, Li Weidong also let out a sigh of relief. The big rock in his heart finally fell down.

The bidding this time was full of twists and turns, and Li Weidong was better at luck than planning.

A large mine of this level is said to be out of Li Weidong's hands. Fortunately, Zhao Jinshan's relationship gave them a chance to participate in the bidding.

It was pure luck that I happened to get the axial flow compressor next. If I didn't have this machine, even if I could participate in the bidding, I would just be studying with the prince in the end.

With this axial flow compressor, the following series of layouts and means were available, and finally Dongshan Mining defeated many large companies and successfully won two large mines, Taifeng and Taisheng.

Huang Aihua was also wondering which company Dongshan Mining was. Seeing Li Weidong next to him smiling, he instantly remembered that this Dongshan Mining is Li Weidong's company!

It turned out to be Li Weidong who won the bid. This kid has a good plan. We Yankuang paid 2.4 billion yuan, but we didn't win the bid. In the end, he won it!

Huang Aihua took a breath, and then said with a smile: Chairman Li, congratulations! You Dongshan Mining has just been established, and you have won such big mines as Taifeng and Taisheng. It can be said to be a success!

Huang Aihua's words instantly attracted the attention of the surroundings.

Is that man from Dongshan Mining? He looks so young, maybe around 30 years old! Do you know him?

I don't know him. He's a new face. I haven't seen him before. It doesn't look like he's in our business.

President Huang of Yankuang seemed to say just now that Dongshan Mining has just been established. Could it be that this is a newcomer who has just entered the coal industry?

The rookie can win the two mines of Taifeng and Taisheng, and his strength is no small feat!

On the other side, Zhou Xiangyang looked at Li Weidong dully, the mocking expression just now had long since disappeared without a trace.

How is it possible! That individual coal boss won the bid! Am I dreaming! Zhou Xiangyang's mind went blank.

The few people next to them also looked embarrassed. Someone said just now that there are so many big companies here, and it will never be the turn of an individual coal boss to win the bid.

However, as soon as the words were spoken, he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. The individual coal boss who was ridiculed by them before for his ignorance, really won the bid!

Fortunately, everyone was embarrassed together. The so-called Huozi quarreled, so don't talk about anyone else, or you will make a fool of yourself.

Impossible, right? Did you make a mistake! We have so many big companies here, how can we get him! Someone repeated this sentence.

Zhou Xiangyang gave the subordinate who reported the letter a hard look,

As if asking, are you blind? I read it wrong?

The man hurriedly said, I'm not mistaken, the bid winning announcement really says Dongshan Mining! Mr. Zhou, if you believe it or not, you can ask someone else!

It is indeed Dongshan Mining. Another person next to him said that he was a clerk of another company.

Zhou Xiangyang also knew that every company sent someone to watch on the bulletin board. If the winning bidder was not Dongshan Mining, other people would have given feedback.

How could this be? Our Jinshan Coal Industry also paid 2.1 billion yuan, but we didn't win the bid! Zhou Xiangyang muttered to himself.

This was overheard by the person next to him, who said, Our Pingmei Energy Group paid two billion yuan. I thought it was enough, but I didn't expect that a mountain would be as high as a mountain!

You offered 2 billion yuan. Our Yunzhong Coal Mine Company paid 30 million more than you. But Lao Zhou didn't win the bid with 2.1 billion yuan. My offer of 2 billion 30 million yuan, It's psychologically balanced! Another person said.

According to this, the Dongshan Mining's bid must exceed 2.1 billion. What do you think is it? Is it more than 2.2 billion? Someone asked again.

It must be more than 2.2 billion! Cao Siyuan from the Coal Import and Export Corporation was speaking.

Wang Yuequn from Jizhong Coal Industry was slightly surprised, and immediately asked, Old Cao, is your Coal Import and Export Corporation quoting 2.2 billion?

Not only that, we also attached other conditions. If you calculate it, the price we offered is worth more than 2.2 billion yuan! Cao Siyuan replied.

We also put forward additional conditions, and we didn't fall into the eyes of Guodian Corporation! Wang Yuequn paused, and then said: I don't know how much Dongshan Mining paid to impress Guodian Corporation.

How many resources can a newly established company have? I guess it must be more money! Maybe 230 to 400 million. Cao Siyuan said.

At this moment, Huang Aihua from Yankuang said, Brother Li, our Yankuang quoted 2.4 billion yuan, but we failed to win Taifeng and Taisheng mines. It seems that your quotation is lower than 2.4 billion yuan. Is it too much or too much?

Hearing the figure of 2.4 billion, everyone was shocked. Although everyone knew that Yankuang had a lot of money, they didn't expect them to be so willing to spend 2.4 billion!

More importantly, the 2.4 billion yuan did not win these two mines, which shows that Dongshan Mining offered a higher price.

Li Weidong also understood in an instant, no wonder Guodian Corporation wanted to purchase the axial flow compressor separately. It turned out that Yankuang paid 2.4 billion. Such a high price would make him tempted.

Only to hear Huang Aihua continue to say: Brother Li, is it convenient to disclose your quotation? In this way, even if our Yankuang loses, we will lose clearly.

Everyone cast curious glances, and everyone wanted to know how much Dongshan Mining spent to bid for Taifeng and Taisheng mines.

Of course, Li Weidong would not reveal Dongshan Mining's quotation. After all, he only offered 200 million yuan. If these people knew that Dongshan Mining had won Taifeng and Taisheng mines with 200 million yuan, he would inevitably feel unbalanced and said It might cause trouble again.

So Li Weidong said: It's really inconvenient for me to disclose the quotation. The main reason is that Dongshan Mining is not what I decide alone. We have other shareholders, so I have to take care of the wishes of other shareholders.

Li Weidong prevaricated for a while, then smiled at everyone, and then said: Everyone, since the bidding results have ended, I will not bother you, and I will leave first.

Li Weidong felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and it would be wrong to say too much, since he already knew the result of the bidding, it would be better to run away as soon as possible.

Refused to say the quotation, and still ran so fast, could it be something tricky! Zhou Xiangyang muttered to himself.

It's possible! Otherwise, how can a mere individual coal boss defeat so many big companies and finally take down these two mines. The person next to him said.

If he refuses to say, we don't know how much this Dongshan Mining paid!

Does any of you have acquaintances at the top of Guodian Corporation? Try to find out from Guodian Corporation how much this Dongshan Mining has paid.

Zhou Xiangyang thought for a while and said, Although I know a few senior executives of Guodian Corporation, they are all nodding acquaintances, so I'm not familiar with them. It may be difficult to inquire about quotations.

But if we can't find out, it doesn't mean that others can't find out either! For example, Jizhong Coal Industry Group and Coal Import and Export Corporation have a much wider network than ours, not to mention there is Yankuang!

So we just need to wait. Big companies like them will definitely have their own connections and come to inquire about the news. By then, won’t we know the quotation of Dongshan Mining?

Just as Zhou Xiangyang expected, Huang Siyuan of the Coal Import and Export Corporation found a corner where there was no one and talked to someone on the phone.

I heard from Huang Aihua from Yankuang that they paid 2.4 billion yuan from Yankuang. At such a high price, they couldn't win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines. How much did Dongshan Mining, which won the bid, pay? Could it be 20 yuan? Five hundred million?

What? Can you say that again? Two billion? How is this possible, you don't earn Yankuang's 2.4 billion yuan, but you want to earn Dongshan Mining's 2 billion yuan? Is it too much money?

Moreover, the 2.2 billion we offered, plus the assistance in import trade, is much more valuable than the 2 billion! Did you have any behind-the-scenes deals with Dongshan Mining?

In addition to two billion, there is also an axial compressor? What it is? The core equipment of the wind tunnel laboratory? Can't buy it in China? Could it be that this thing is worth 400 million?

It's not worth 400 million! Then why did you let Dongshan Mining win the bid? Is it because you can't buy it locally? What? In order to speed up the research and development progress of wind power projects!

Just for such a compressor, you let the newly established Dongshan Mining win the bid? Then if I also get a machine like this, will we have to win the bid?

Are you serious? That's fine, let's make a deal! You wait for me for a week, and I will send you this shaft compressor! At that time, you have to give me Taifeng and Taisheng Mine!

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. In addition to Cao Siyuan of the coal import and export company, people such as Wang Yuequn of Jizhong Coal Industry Group, and Yankuang Huang Aihua also found out that Li Weidong only spent 200 million yuan, plus one Axial-flow compressors won the two big mines of Taifeng and Taisheng.

So they began to wonder where they could buy axial flow compressors, hoping to make a comeback.

In Jizhong Coal Industry Group, Wang Yuequn was holding the phone. On the other end of the phone was the boss of one of the top machinery manufacturing companies in China.

Lao Luo, the cooperation between us has not been ten years, but eight years? This time we are going to build the urea project, and we will use your equipment. Based on this, I will ask you to get an axial flow Compressor, why are you pushing me three times and four times! Wang Yuequn said rather dissatisfied.

Old Wang, it's not that I'm pushy, it's because we really can't make this thing. Lao Luo said helplessly.

Your technical level is already the top in the country. Even military orders will be placed with you, and you won't be able to manufacture an axial compressor? Wang Yuequn said full of doubts.

I didn't lie to you, we really can't make it. Lao Luo sighed helplessly, and then said: Let me tell you the truth, you are not the first to come to me for an axial flow compressor of!

Last year, people from the Institute of Aerodynamics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences came and asked us to help build this axial compressor. They not only came, but also brought the drawings.

But this thing has too high requirements for materials and manufacturing techniques, even if we are given blueprints, it can't be made! By the way, this is something to be kept secret, so I will tell you, you must not reveal it, or I will be in trouble.

Wang Yuequn was taken aback for a moment. Lao Luo even revealed such confidential things to himself. It seems that they really can't make this axial compressor.

Since Lao Luo's technology can't be produced, then there is no domestic company that can do it, and they can only import it from foreign countries.

Wang Yuequn sighed helplessly. When it comes to buying imported equipment, Jizhong Coal Industry Group has no advantage.

The Coal Import and Export Corporation is originally engaged in import and export business. They are very familiar with imported equipment. It seems that Cao Siyuan will take the lead!

As expected, the Coal Import and Export Corporation was looking for a way to import an axial flow compressor from abroad.

Mr. Cao, this axial flow compressor is really hard to buy. This kind of machine is not mass-produced, so each one has to be specially customized. The subordinate said.

Specially customized? I also said that the axial flow compressor will be shipped to Guodian within a week! If it is customized now, it will be too late.

Cao Siyuan frowned, and continued, However, let's ask the seller how long it will take to deliver the goods! By the way, which country can produce this kind of axial compressor?

The subordinates continued to report: I asked the people in our overseas offices to inquire about it, and finally the news came from the United States, saying that a company called Lockheed Martin can manufacture axial compressors.

Lockheed Martin? Foreigners' company names are so long and difficult to pronounce. It's not like ours. It's called Hongqi Factory, Qianjin Factory, etc. It's just a two-syllable name, which is nice and easy to remember. Cao Siyuan said.

Director Wu from the U.S. office said that he would contact Lockheed Martin. The subordinate looked at his watch and continued, It should be evening in the U.S., and we may have to wait until tomorrow for any news.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

Cao Siyuan picked up the phone and said, Hi, I'm Cao Siyuan? What? Say it again? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent news that our company's US office was raided by the US Central Intelligence Agency?

Suspected of espionage? How can this be! The law-abiding people we send out have been inspected by the government for several generations, and they only came to the United States to do business. How could they be spies!

Suspected of smuggling sensitive military equipment to a high-end arms manufacturing company in the United States? We are a coal seller, if we want to smuggle coal, why do we smuggle military equipment? It's not professional!

Axial compressor? We want to import one. Build fighter jets? Can we build intercontinental missiles? I am wronged, we are just a coal seller, how can we make aircraft and missiles!

After a while, Cao Siyuan put down the phone with a mournful expression on his face.

Axial compressors were a disaster.

Before the machine was bought, the company's US office went in first!

No pop-up window, timely update!
